It’s coffee time! This morning I was playing the blues on my guitar while drinking my oh so delicious dutch “Douwe Egberts” coffee and came up with this neat basic blues lick. The Coffee Blues Lick was born.
The Pentatonic Coffee Blues Lick
The coffee blues lick is in the key of A and is derived from the pentatonic scale with an added 3rd and major 6th note. It’s a real tasty but still fairly easy lick to play. You can play the lick over a 12 bar blues shuffle or a basic 12 bar blues chord progression. A great lick for beginners and intermediate guitar players.
Below you can find the tabs and video lesson to learn this fabulous blues lick.
Enjoy!
Klaus,
I Just wanted to give you a shout out for all the time and effort you have devoted to helping other guitar players.
I have been playing for 36+ years and still get a kick out of your “Guitar Habits” posts.
There’s always something for every skill level to enjoy and work on.
If there’s a friend or someone I know that’s a fellow guitar player or who is just starting out I always tell them to check out your content.. as it’s an invaluable tool.
Many Thanks again for all the years of dedication and inspiration..
Hi Christopher,
This is really nice to hear. I know there are people on the other side, but it’s so
great to hear that people actually are reading, watching and applying the lessons.
It’s all about having fun, being inspired, motivated in the journey of playing guitar and
making music on your own or with fellow musicians. Life has to be a blast!
Thanks so much and keep on picking my friend!
Best regards,
Klaus Crow
